Default which garage floor system?

I'm looking for some input on a garage floor system to park my bikes on.&nbsp\\; I'm not looking for an epoxy to cover the whole floor but rather something to protect the floor from the kickstands and give me someplace cool to park.&nbsp\\; I've seen racedeck and similar products to park cars on but wonder how they will hold up to kickstands.

I have always been partial to cement myself and if you put in latex paint in place of some water the color never goes away

I second bulldog's carpet. Had it in one stall for the bikes for years. People can't believe&nbsp\\;we have our bikes parked on white carpet...

I put down a maroon epoxy to make the garage look nice with all the work we did painting and with the cabinets. Under the bike, is just a couple rugs, three bucks at wallyworld.

&nbsp\\; I have blue/grey indoor-outdoor carpet.
&nbsp\\; I say to myself...."Hey! IT's just a SHED!"
&nbsp\\; If you have a showcase garage....yeh, you may want
something fancy.
&nbsp\\; Pep Boys Auto parts and Harley also,
had a system that snapped together.&nbsp\\; For about $200.

I put down a racedeck style floor 3 years ago. No problems with the kickstands or anything else. Still looks good, and is holding up great.

Another vote for cheap *** carpet. Mine is a nice shade of green. Don't have to worry about cigarette ash and Bundy Rum spillage... just rub it in.
